That site doesn’t really provide me any real de-motivation for riding a carbon bike. I could collect a gallery of all the busted aluminum bike frames and components. It would be huge and I’m not sure what if anything it would tell you? Stuff breaks – no matter what material.

I have been closely watching the Santa Cruz MTB forum on MTBR.com for tales of broken frames. So far I haven’t seen much. Certainly CF MTB frames are breaking just as the aluminum ones did and the steel ones did. The question is are they breaking a lot more often or in ways that injure the rider? So far I haven’t found any rampant CF frame breakages amongst SC riders. I’m not in the market for a new MTB for a couple years so I’ll keep checking in on this.
